CCT Something Old

Its time for a new challenge at CCT and this week it is Something Old. I have decided to use a very old Magnolia pram stamp which is one of the first Magnolia stamps which I bought. The image has been stamped with Momento ink and coloured with Copics. I embossed the white card with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and added a scrap of Christmas DP which I had lying around. Another super quick card!

I hope you all had a good week, we visited the Harry Potter, Warner Bros Studio Tour on Saturday. It was amazing even for me who wasn't really a Harry Potter fan, the sets etc are so interesting and the Hogwarts model - well I won't say anymore in case you are planning a visit as I don't want to spoil the surprise! In fact I even came home and downloaded the books to my Kindle! I'll leave you with a couple of photos from our day out.

CCT Simplify

The challenge at CCT this week is simplify. I have made another quick and easy card using my Stampin Up butterflies, punches and embossing folders.

I am off to bed in a minute but will hopefully get time to pop round some blogs before work tonight. We had a lovely time in Prague and it even snowed.

CCT Eye For Detail

The theme at CCT this week is an Eye For Detail. I have used one of the first stamps which I ever bought well over 10 years ago, I love this PSX cat face. Another of my very very quick cards!!

Super quick post because hubby and I are flying to Prague for 4 nights just after lunch and I haven't packed yet!!

CCT Love Struck

This weeks theme at CCT is Love Struck. This is a very quick card which I made for the challenge as I can't put my hubby's valentines card on my blog because he might see it! The heart is a chipboard shape which I have had for a very long time and that's about it apart from a Cuttlebug embossing folder and a piece of ribbon.

I hope you'll be able to join in this weeks challenge and we have a fab prize from Bunny Zoe's Crafts.

CCT 254 A Different Corner

The challenge at CCT this week is A Different Corner. I have used a couple of stamps on my card which I got from QVC many years ago and this is the first time I have used them!! The images were stamped with Versamagic ink and I added a bit of glitter to the flower heads. The sentiment is Hero Arts and I added a punched butterfly and a piece of bakers twine. The corner has been rounded with a punch seeing as my Corner Chomper broke.

Have a good week.

CCT Out of This World

The challenge at CCT this week is Out of This World and we have a fab prize from Rick St Dennis designs. I have used a digi image from Rick St Dennis called Gloria Glowbug, isn't she fab. I coloured the image with Copics and added some old Rusty Pickle DP which I cut with the Die-namics Fishtail Stax.

I hope you'll be able to join in this week's challenge.

CCT Diamonds Are Forever

This weeks challenge at CCT is Diamonds Are Forever and we have a great prize from Whimsy stamps. I have been using my Stampin Up goodies again to make this weeks card. I stamped the flourish from the Elements of Style set and the sentiment in Crumb Cake ink. I used a Stampin Up pen in Rose Red to stamp the Hummingbird image which I cut out and 3D onto the flourish. The border was cut with a Finishing Touch Edgelit and I added a little gem to the flourish. The white card was embossed with the Lacey Brocade Embossing Folder.  Another very quick and simple card.

Have a good week.

CCT Beat the Blues

This weeks theme at CCT is Beat the Blues. As I don't have any humorous stamps I decided to make a blue card. The butterflies are from the Stampin Up set Papillon Potpourri which I stamped with Aegean Blue Versamagic ink. I stamped and punched another 3 butterflies using the Elegant Butterfly punch and added 3 pearls on each of them. The white card is embossed using a SU Lacey Brocade embossing folder and I added some seam binding from the Ribbon Girl. I bought myself a Big Shot this week and I can't believe how much better it is at embossing card than the Cuttlebug.

I hope you will be able to join in this weeks challenge as we have a great prize from Whiff of Joy. Have a good week.

CCT250 Something New

This weeks challenge at CCT is Something New. I made a card, giftbag and decorated another mannequin using some of the new Stampin Up goodies which I got for Christmas to make a giftset for my daughter's friends 18th birthday. The mannequin is very similar to the one which I made before, just a few if the stamped images and trims are different. The stamp sets I have used are Elements of Style, and Papillon Potpourri. The decorative edge is a Stampin Up Finishing Touches Edgelit and the letters were cut on the Cricut.

I hope you all enjoyed your New Year celebrations. We got another dog on New Years Day, I have lots of photos but they are all on my phone and I don't know how to transfer them to the PC so I will add some later when one of the kiddies gets up!!!

Have a good week.

CCT Anything Goes

This weeks challenge at CCT is Anything Goes. I made a very quick birthday card with a Snoopy stamp and a left over piece of DP.

I hope you all had a good Christmas and got lots of lovely pressies, I got some fabby Stampin Up goodies off my hubby.

Have a good week and enjoy your New Year celebrations.

CCT So Charming

The challenge at CCT this week is So Charming and we'd like to see your projects which feature charms. I haven't done a card this week instead I decided to decorate a mannequin which has been lurking in my crafty stash for about 6 years now!! I painted the mannequin with gesso and acrylic paints and then stamped the various Stampin Up stamps onto tissue with Versacolor inkpads which I then heated embossed to set the ink. It would of been easier to use dye inks but I specifically wanted these colours to match my daughters bedroom. I then stuck the images onto the mannequin using Mod Podge and added a charm, piece of lace and the crystally trim (not too sure what the proper name is !). To finish off the base I added a few flowers, a pearl which I coloured to match with Copics and a grungepaper butterfly coloured with the same inks as the stamped images. Luckily the girls love it and I have now got a couple of others to do for birthday pressies.

I love this stamp set by Stampin Up, the images are so pretty and the set also includes a fab swirl stamp. Hubby has got me some Stampin Up goodies for Christmas I can't wait to see what he chose from the rather long list I gave him!!!

Have a great week, i can't believe how fast the time is going at the moment!

CCT Red & Green

This weeks challenge at CCT is red and green. I have made a Christmas card using this gorgeous Stampendous stamp which I stamped the image onto cream card, distressed with Distress Ink and coloured the image with Prismacolors. I added various Frantage glitters and powders and some ultra fine glitter to the berries.

I hope you'll be able to join in this weeks challenge as we have another fab prize. Enjoy your week.

CCT - Snowflakes

This weeks challenge at CCT is snowflakes. I have made another super quick card using a Memory Box die and Cuttlebug embossing folder. The snowflake is cut in silver mirri card and has a little gem in the center and that's about it really apart from a sentiment and piece of ribbon!! I'm trying to finish all my Xmas cards as I have some new scrummy Stampin Up goodies to play with.

Bed time for me now, have a good day!

CCT - One for the Girls

This weeks challenge at CCT is One for the Girls. This is the tag which I made for Kerry's birthday. The tag has been coloured with Distress Stains and ink and the main image is Stampendous. I added a few flowers and pearls to finish it off.

Another super quick post as there's the dreaded housework to do and I really must get on with making Xmas cards! 

Have a good week.
